Overall Satisfaction with Accounting by Wave

We use Wave Software for our small business clients who are getting started and need efficient and easy to use accounting software to manage their business finances, process payroll and have support for income tax preparation.
  • So easy to use and set up
  • Easy to collaborate with our Clients
  • Easy to view reports and share information in meetings with clients
  • The journal Entry Feature definitely could use improvements by allowing billable expenses to be posted to a Customer account
  • Reporting is still very basic and needs enhancement - ability to generate custom reports is needed
  • Works very well with our small business customers so we are pleased
entry level software - does not yet compare to XERO
It is so not good for inventory and product related customers. It is best for service based customers and early stage companies.
